A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to speak about ear seeds and auriculotherapy at a wellness convention in beautiful Sedona. It was an incredible weekend filled with energy, curiosity, and amazing conversations about natural healing. But what truly stood out was what happened afterward.
In the hotel lobby that evening, a line started forming.
Word had spread about ear seeds, and people were eager to try them out. Among them was a woman named Tammy. She had been struggling with chronic heel pain for quite some time—nothing had really worked. She was hopeful, but understandably skeptical.
I kept it simple. I applied just two ear seeds—one on the Heel Point and the other on Shen Men, known as the “master point” for calming and balancing the body.
Correct Location is Key!
I used palpation to find the really tender point on her ear that corresponds the heel as shown in the chart below.
Watch the video and you'll see what I mean. She's letting me know that I found it!
NOTE: While there's a third point in the chart below you can use for pain called, Thalamus, I didn't feel it was necessary since we'd found two really tender points in the area of the ear that corresponds to the heel. I just kept it simple.
Heel Pain Was Gone in Minutes!
The next morning, Tammy found me at breakfast and, with wide eyes and an even wider smile, told me her heel pain had completely disappeared shortly after the seeds were applied. Even better—she still had no pain!
This moment is one of the many reminders that sometimes, less is more. With auriculotherapy, just two strategic points can create powerful results.
